Total B...S.......

"Prediction: the earliest you will see the Passport in the US, is 3 months after the international launch. And because Verizon has it's restrictions, I believe Verizon will remain quiet about whether they will carry it. Remember, the Passport is designed as a niche product. BB will not, and does not expect to, sell many of the Passport. Which is fine. Chen has a strategy and that strategy does NOT include selling millions and millions of consumer oriented phones. He has and is designing BB to make money selling software solutions and selling small quantities of sophisticated niche smartphones. He does not want to go head to head against Apple, Google and Microsoft. This is also why I believe the BB phones will be relatively expensive. Chen is not trying to appeal to the mass market consumer"

It is even worse than I predicted. No real USA support, ATT exclusive sometime in the future unknown.

Actually its available in the US on release day, which shocks me. I knew it was pretty much going to be only direct from BB when he announced off contract prices this week. Sucks not available yet for verizon, it should be.
